Default 1995 Jeep Cherokee Country 5-Speed

Hi my name is Matt,
This is my 1995 Jeep Cherokee Country 5-Speed.

Picked it up with 173,000 miles on it in Newark, Delaware.

Had original window sticker and all original maintenance written down in owners manual!

You can also see the overhead console Rooster and I scored on a run to a PA Junkyard. We also liberated and freshened up some engine and transfer case OEM skid plates.

The basic goal with this truck is to keep it stock as possible with light OEM style upgrades. I know this won't be popular, but no lifts (already had one offered to me for free lol), no huge tires, no safari racks. Just clean oem style, I really like this Jeep and intend to hang onto it for a long time!

It does look a little low in the rear though. Do you find those tires rub at all?

Thanks again guys, yeah it has the inherent droop from age, though no rub. I am looking for oem (preferably up country) leaf springs and shocks or something comparable. Basically nice ride quality with minimal to no lift. Any suggestions?

Interior is easy to clean and cup holders were an option, i believe specific to manual as the automatics had cup holders above were my parking brake would be thus right in the way of the shifter. Plus i believe there is a different center console for the automatic.
